Abstract: Due the multiplicity of loci of control, a main issue distributed systems have to cope with lies in the uncertainty on the system state created by the adversaries that ar...
We present a consensus algorithm that combines unreliable failure detection and randomization, two well-known techniques for solving consensus in asynchronous systems with crash f...
Abstract. This paper studies the impact of omission failures on asynchronous distributed systems with crash-stop failures. We provide two different transformations for algorithms,...

or fault-tolerant asynchronous systems. It abstracts a family of problems known as Agreement (or Coordination) problems. Any solution to consensus can serve as a basic building blo...
Abstract. We argue that failure detectors encapsulate fairness. Fairness is a measure of the number of steps a process takes relative to another processes and/or messages in transi...
